5/6/15 Phillies at Braves 7:10 PM GDT

Such a weird season. Trade our best hitters for mostly pitching and our hitting got better and our pitching got worse.

 

[USMA76]

If I never saw this guy [Howard] bat against us again, I'd be perfectly okay with that.

Very close to how the Phillies feel, actually. Just delete "against us" and it fits perfectly.

Howard's done more damage against us than Chipper did against the Mets--yeah, that bad.

Simmons wRC+ is 131

That's scary.

Simmons wRC+ is 131

That's scary.

And awesome

 

[USMA76]

Avilan with strike three on a "Bugs Bunny" pitch.

 

[thethe]

And awesome

Wasn't Simmons supposed to suck offensively. I know someone on this board said so.

 

[Runnin]

Does Timothy Miller sing God Bless America at EVERY home game. He's great an all but how about a little more variety.

 

[Braves1976]

Braves1976 called the Jace steals!

I missed the stolen base as I jumped in the shower after watching him walk. But I at least caught Maybin's stolen base tonight, lol.

I think he just sings on Sundays and on occasions when we're honoring servicemen, policemen, firefighters, etc. I think Joe Simpson said something about this being Vietnam Vets night.

I guess it just seems like every game. The way he rolls his "r" on America sounds Russian. lol

 

[Julio3000]

Ha! I was right about Millwood and the sub-100 pitch shutout.

 

[TDlxANDER]

Jim Johnson's keys to success:

1. Make people hit the ball to Andrelton.

2. Have awesome last name.

 

[Julio3000]

Long John with a clean frame.

Remember when Freeman was having a 'down year' 2 weeks ago?

 

[thewupk]

I wouldn't say suck. Nobody expected him to be great or as bad as he was last year. I think most people expected him to be between his 2012 and 2013 numbers and be content with it.

I definitely remember people ignoring him murdering the ball because he wasnt hugging as much.

 

[Garmel]

Ho Hum. Peterson with another two hit game.

 

[Julio3000]

Peterson is on it.
